On one side, Nikon is updating its D6(1)0 and trying to release better products. Sigma and Tamron are releasing top lenses at accessible prices.

On the other side, Canon releases non sense products (like a 24-70 f4 L) at crazy prices, or stupid toys like these limited editions...

Come on Canon !

YES, this is really what we all expect from Canon! As long as we get overpriced, engraved dwarf-sensored Pointnshoots we don't even notice that Sony is bringing FF-sensored mirrorless system cameras to market.

Canon is seriously off-track. They are in for hard times. Another Nokia going to happen.

Nikon is "updating D6(1)0" because they f**ked the first version with oily sensor, they did the same thing with thier over heating SB900 ... Sigma & Tamron are "trying to release better products" because they had some really sub standard products before ... while these companies were churning out those sub-standard products, Canon was producing/selling some of the best lenses on this planet ... so "come on" yourself and get your facts right :

 

[TrabimanUK]

Surely they should be the 120C and G12C, like the iPhone 5C that can come in differnt colours?

 

[CTJohn]

One option comes with a Sony sensor!

Where does "we" & "all" come from? ... those 2 cameras are "limited" edition, i.e "we" and/or all" do not necessarily buy them, only those who are passionate about collecting cameras are the ones who will buy them (with an exception of few people who might like to have a camera with their name engraved).

 

[neuroanatomist]

I'd buy one...if only it came in a Facebook edition like the PowerShot N.

 

[Dylan777]

I better jump on these before all GONE ;D

Yes, this is what I expect from Canon. Some useless items in between some perfect ones such as the 5D3, 24-70 II, 17 TSE, the great whites, etc.

If you take off your doomsday glasses and look at the financials of Canon and Sony, probably you'll be surprised that it is Sony that seems to be more likely than Canon to go under. They make more money on life-insurance than their electronics division, actually they don't make any money on their electronics division at all.

Canon trying to compete with Leica p&s?

+10,000!.....

..and..... dey is butt ugly.

...but...hey...look on the bright side....fall is here...they could make nice kindling to start the fireplace!

 

[unfocused]

What's that thing sitting next to the G-16? It looks like a lens.

 

[mackguyver]

I've been looking for a companion to my Hasselblad Lunar

 

[EchoLocation]

this is terrible. CR has turned in to LeicaRumors.

Come on Canon !

Do Sigma and Tamron have lenses which are somehow better than the new tilt shift lenses. fisheye zoom, and 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM?

Is dual pixel AF & STM nonsense?

Your view of things is rather one sided.

I thought the D610 was just Nikon fixing a blunder. How is that innovation?

The prob is that Japanese companies are very slow when it comes to change. I work for one and can tell you they spend most of the time filing paperwork. Nothing gets done. Not much progress due to the fact that they don't change they're system of working. It's prob the same boss whose been making the decisions for the last 35 years. They need new thinking and new blood. But its impossible for young engineers to move up in the company. Senoirity rules as does old style of thinking. And then theres the stagnant economy.

And what we see as consumers is the same old thing again and again just dressed up differently. Who knows in 5 years we might be shooting Samsung DSLRs.

Nah!
